This salad has so many wonderful fall flavors and textures in every bite and it is so fresh and filling and healthy and so easy to throw together.

I like to start with a bed of hearty spinach in a large serving bowl.Then just before you’re ready to serve it, slice up a crisp juicy apple. Add some sweet chewy dried cranberries. Some pepitas, which are little pumpkin seeds, for a little crunch and some soft crumbled blue cheese or feta cheese.

Look how gorgeous this looks. It’s nice and healthy and looks just beautiful with all the different colors.

For the honey apple cider vinaigrette to top it off, just shake everything up in a jar to let all the ingredients come together for a simple dressing that pairs perfectly with this salad.

For dressing, vigorously shake together all ingredients, in a closed jar.

Just before serving, slice the apple into thin, bite-sized pieces. Place your greens in a large serving bowl. Top with sliced apple, dried cranberries and pepitas. Use a fork to crumble the goat cheese over the salad. Gently toss to mix all of the ingredients and serve with dressing.
